Free Music Review: Classic stuff that has gotten better with age.
Hit: 5 Stars

Hard to believe that this great CD has turned 20 years old this year.

I remember being just 10 years old back in 1985 and hearing their cover of T. Rex's "Get It On (Bang a Gong)" and being hooked.

There's not a weak track on this album and it's really a shame that they didn't follow through on this album's quick success as Robert Palmer would leave before they even toured for this CD to go back to his solo career.

They tried a comeback attempt in the mid 90's but that album was terrible.

But this CD has aged just like a fine wine.

To the naysayers who complain of the 80's sound quality of it, well morons, it DID come out in 1985 so cut it some slack.

But to us people who grew up in the 80's and appreciated good music back then, this was a blast of fresh air in the synth and hair metal dominated mid 80's.

Robert Palmer (R.I.P.) was always one of my top 10 favorite singers and he shines like on nothing else of his career on this release.

Andy Taylor and John Taylor get to really cut loose in a fashion they never were able (or allowed) to do in Duran Duran.

And what more can be said about that late drumming powerhouse known only as Tony Thompson. Talk a huge drum sound on this album, I mean his drums sound like they could level a building on this CD!

Another thing that really has helped this CD to age well was the lack of heavy synths on this CD. For the most part, it's just the 4 of them letting it rip.

This reissue was a most welcome surprise to my ears (and eyes with the bonus DVD included in it) and the extras on it are the icing on the cake.

Anyone who just loves good, smart and catchy pop-rock would do well to hear this album that had everyone talking way back in 1985 like almost no other group of the decade.

The Power Station (CD & DVD) Poster

Few side projects have ever proven so disastrous. When Duran Duran bassist John Taylor and guitarist Andy Taylor formed the Power Station in 1985, it not only toppled their other band's domination over the pop world but cast a dark cocaine and slap-bass cloud over the entire decade that didn't shake off until Miami Vice was cancelled and Nirvana arrived. But that wasn't all. Superstitious types believe that resentful Durannies set a curse on singer Robert Palmer, Chic drummer Tony Thompson and producer Bernard Edwards that eventually sent them all to early graves. Two decades on, all that is swept aside and what remains is the music: Self-indulgent and superficial, yes - and, with just eight songs, in such small portions. But, in retrospect, the Power Station is also unexpectedly forceful and funky, particularly with "Some Like It Hot" and a cover of T. Rex's "Bang A Gong." --Aidin Vaziri
